I watched your walkthrough video as well. Thank you for your very detailed explanation of your thought process, as well as cost information. This was very helpful.
Thank you so much for having a start to finish and advice and pricing on stuff.,I was hoping to find a video such as this .. thanks so so much. Enjoy your media room and have a great day
@justine thanks!! When I created this I planned it for six months and no one else had a time lapse or full recording showing what they did, step by step.
Your cousins are so amazing. This video is so informative, that its hard to explain. Thank you very much for producing this. Its timeless to watch professionals work, coz there so much wisdom in it.
Hey buddy I truly appreciate this video because I’m trying to figure out how to build my home theater in my guest room. I was wondering about building a riser for my theatre seating and this helped. Sorry about all the messed up comments from others but I love it!
Good job. All the comments are interesting too. Good advice to help whoever else might try to tackle how tedious this job is. The only comment I have other than congratulations is your projector was exposed to a lot of insulation, dust and saw dust leaving it hung during construction.
I was thinking the same, I was not expecting this. I really can't see how you could justify that much work for watching films, I mean, who watches enough films and television to make this cost effective? It seems to be a huge undertaking for something that would be used a few times a year.
Thats a stunning building layout my friend, enjoyed every minute watching you and your team building it. But now we want to see you final setup with the speakers and everything ;) you got my sub my friend.
I placed vinyl on the 2" thick plywood which contains soundproof installation. I also put two vents at the front and two on the back to absorb sound. From all my tests.. there is no vibration or reflective sounds coming from the platform.
Right at the beginning, i have to say that it was really good choice to choose Two Steps From Hell as music..and i have only watched first 4,5min... ;D
plywood is run the wrong way. Never run it with the floor joists, it will bow between them. Even though it is oriental strand board the wood chips are placed a certain way. should be using 3/4" T&G. great theater room
You are most welcome! I didn't really see anyone on here that had a full time lapse showing everything that was done in the buildout and I really just wanted to give everyone a view of what I did and how I did it step by step.
I was reading the comments and wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about your heart condition. I will pray for you. Fist rule of construction is NEVER 25:00 + use final floor for a work table! I hope it's not all scratched up . I hope you enjoy your room thanks for the video
Nice! Two things, though. I found myself skipping ahead to watch it in 3 minutes. HAHAHA. Also, why such a great room, projector, and screen --- and you ended up with $2000 of Sony speakers? Come on, man! Rob a bank and complete that room with "at least" some B&Ws. (We are getting ready to close on a house that's going to give me a lot more theatre space and I'll be upgrading away from my B&W 5.1 system. Can't wait. Dual Klipsch SPL-150SWs here I come!!!)
Just wondering why you raised the first row of seats? If they had been left on the floor - less work and then the second row would not have had to be raised so high. Or was it to put insulation under the front row as well?. Just asking as I am hoping to start a similar project this year. Thank you.
Curious how you like the recliners now 2.5 years post-video? I'm considering buying the same (I believe they are the Larson Leather Power Reclining Home Theater, correct?). Would you recommend?
I thought it looked really nice.. it's actually vinyl flooring. The platform is 2" plywood with sound proof insulation. I don't think there will be any vibrations, ect. I was going to do laminate or real wood flooring, but I thought that might be too noisy and a laminate floor has to float, so it would have needed sides which could have been a trip hazard. The vinyl makes it look really good. I could have carpeted.. but again. It just felt more pro doing it this way
Awesome video my friend, especially the music. The music sounded like a Soundtrack from the Games Of Throne. The Finish Product Was Breathtaking At Best.
Great video! I smoked some bud, watched this video, and laughed my ass off. I especially like the parts when the old crone in the black dress comes into the room to bitch out the crew. Suggestion: do a part two ... same video but slow motion and in reverse.
Awesome job but I have one question did you ever consider putting the subwoofers underneath the platform? It would give it a little more explosions I was going to do that to my theater but I have tenants probably would drive them
Keep your eyes peeled for deals. I purchased my laminate flooring on sale from $2.99 psf down to .99 cents psf. My power recliner I only purchased one because I was keeping the old sectional was on clearance at Costco from $935 down to $175.
Hey Mark, Yes; I wanted to make sure that I cut down on any sound vibrations from the speakers and eventually when I install the Buttkickers in the chairs. I did a ton of research on this prior to building and everyone that I came across that built something like this.. they put in the insulation and vents to help carry the sound and any vibrations.
That answers my question...looks like a lot of excess materials used though.. Why not float and isolated the riser..one thing layer of sound deadening material under finished floor. .looks awesome though. Hope you enjoy it for many many years.
Waite a minute here look at all those 2x4's no no. Why did you do it like that. The front part was right you you should of made it longer so you could use it to build a 2x12 platform on top in the back. So you did not have to use so much wood. But none the less it looks awesome.
The insulation helps stop vibrations, being that it is sound proof I found that it helps with sounds a lot better and then providing the vents helps the sound and pressure flow through the platform.
Nice work, looks great! I plan on doing something similar for my home theater. How wide are those steps? I'm trying to squeeze 4 seats in between my steps like you did with your first row but that would mean they would only be 18" wide on both sides. Not sure if that's doable or just sacrafice the 4th seat for wider steps... Let me know what you think.
I hope you gave your one cousin in the video that clearly was the brains and the Braun of the operation a larger cut. The female cousin was on point and ready to go as instructed. However the cousin in the black shirt is the quintessential slacker. How do you call out a lazy performance upon ask, replay his actions of a days work in high speed. Lol
What brand of soundproof insulation did you use, and what was that approximate cost? I have a virtually identical room and would love this exact setup. Probably going to have an issue in building the riser though as I am not handy at all.
I didn't help them build it.. I helped with the design. For an experienced builder, it wouldn't be hard to build at all.. for a newbie.. I'd put it at about a 6.
Can I adopt Steven and Marie so they would be my family? I am disabled and never got to build my HT of my dreams as I am forced to be in bed up to 23 hours a day. My wife is below me in living room and every night I get...CAN YOU TURN IT DOWN, THE WHOLE HOUSE IS SHAKING!! I always planned on building a room within a room for sound isolation, but 20 years ago theses ne materials were not out yet.

What’s the measurements of the room pls
Great video thanks.
Michael Bowes hey mike is top and bottom 6ft deep I know total is 12 ft deep? Also did you do 6ft deep to accommodate the chair fully reclined ?
Forget the walk through... I want to come watch a movie in that room! Great music, great video, great work on the room!
hahaha at first I thought what the hell is McLovin doing here :D sick theater
Lol even I just felt that

TH-cam needs expose dislikers because this was freaking amazing. Loved it.
those dislikes are TH-camr who has the same channel 😂😂😂
Finally I was looking for someone who built a platform. Good job!
@justine thanks!! When I created this I planned it for six months and no one else had a time lapse or full recording showing what they did, step by step.

@christian if you want to chat on Skype, send me a message and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Great video, very informative from the cost to actual size of your theatre. Thank you
This was truly an inspiring journey to watch. It looks fantastic. They did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing. Congrats!
Love the video. Love the music. Looks fantastic. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job! What kept me watching the video was the music. You guys did a really nice job with the room
Thanks Jake!! I love that music! 😁
Thanks on the room.. For it carpeted today.. really looks nice now
@@MichaelBowes The music to this video is beautiful. What are the names of the songs?
@@henrycarter7603 It's from the group: Two Steps from Hell and this is the top 25 tracks. This is the URL: th-cam.com/video/9O4_awEHh1g/w-d-xo.html
very nice Job Mc'lovin

Awesome family work bro 👏👏👏👌
Looks great can't wait to see more of this theater in operation
Thank you!
Incredible!!! Just got those same seats from Sam's Club!!
Funny how about 25 years ago 'Home Theater' meant a 32" TV and surround sound speakers!
So true!! LOL But back then.. that was the best of the best!

@@mikeblake1000 I am sure this guy watches at least one movie a week, so that's easily over 50 per year...
mikeblake1000 I’m sure you’re in the minority. I watch a movie almost everyday.
awe now... I remember some neighbors when I was young who had 3 lens projection TVs they where amazing at the time. :)
Nice job man now all you need is some bass shakers!!!

ABSOLUTELY Great Team work & It looks amazing

Great room! I'd love a home theater someday!
I work at sams and those theater seat have me wanting a theatre
The best thing is it’s a family work very wonderful
Wow man that’s awesome. I wish I had a room in my house big enough to do this. 😂😂😂
McLovin! Great job
Great looking space. Surprised you opted for a reflective floor rather than carpet for sound absorption.
I placed vinyl on the 2" thick plywood which contains soundproof installation. I also put two vents at the front and two on the back to absorb sound. From all my tests.. there is no vibration or reflective sounds coming from the platform.
Michael Bowes can’t wait to see the final finishes 👍👍
Wish I had the motivation your cousins did to work on a home improvement project. My basements stairs are so bad not even the mice use them to go up.
you kind of look like fogel, and that's awesome dude!
Lololol!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I've heard that for years and I still refuse to watch the movie. I think he's my doppelganger..
good movie. also, nice build you did. enjoy the results dude!
Right at the beginning, i have to say that it was really good choice to choose Two Steps From Hell as music..and i have only watched first 4,5min... ;D
Lol!! I love that music! Works great for the time lapse! 😁
@@MichaelBowes I love it too..😆
I enjoyed your video.Thank you

Nice room!!!
Thanks Ace!
Very nice set up. The only thing I would have added would have been a nice floor mounted base shakers for each row of chairs.
I'm installing 3 buttkickers into the front row next week. =)
Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Thoughly enjoyed. Great job!!!
You should have put carpet because it makes it feel more cozy
What grey shade color did you specifically used for your home theater? It looks good.
Thank you for the work documenting your platform construction. I learned something for my platform project.
You are most welcome! I didn't really see anyone on here that had a full time lapse showing everything that was done in the buildout and I really just wanted to give everyone a view of what I did and how I did it step by step.
Congrats man. It turned out really nice 👍🏾😊
Thanks! =)
I was reading the comments and wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about your heart condition. I will pray for you. Fist rule of construction is NEVER 25:00 + use final floor for a work table! I hope it's not all scratched up . I hope you enjoy your room thanks for the video
Thanks.. it's vinyl and anti scratch. 😁😁
Classic video bro!!!!!!!
How much do you think thaht the isolation under the platform helps?
Went straight to the comments looking for a mclovin comment, time to watch the video
Lolol!! 😂😂😂
I still haven't seen that movie!
Awesome job man. Looks great !

Go with svs PB-3000's. Watch Youthman TH-cam channel. He does a comparison. Very informative
Little did he know that this was the perfect time to build this before the corona shit show..😂

Very Very affordable what is the name of the builders and do they have a website or social media

@@Jayhadd21 Thanks!
What do you put on the hard board before you put the vinyl in? It looks like paint, but I guess that isn't it
J Rivera There’s a reason why you won’t find a cinema with hard floors despite them being easier to clean.
We need a list of this sound track.
Looks amazing but when you said your cousins came to help you actually meant your cousins was going to do all the work lol.
Yes. But I paid them for the endeavor. I have a severe heart condition.. so I can only do so much physical labor..
@@MichaelBowes Oh ok you are forgiven lol. Tell them great job.
@@MichaelBowes sorry to hear that man
Do u think a 150 inch screen will work in a room 12ft wide and 22ft long?
Hard job but great looking 👌😉
what do u do for a living and how do i do it lol
What color is your walls about to paint my room soon
Awesome video my friend, especially the music.
The music sounded like a Soundtrack from the Games Of Throne.
The Finish Product Was Breathtaking At Best.
I see you have a fixed screen I would run a 4k laser ultra short throw projector due to your entrance being behind your seating.. awesome room
They suck
Great video! I smoked some bud, watched this video, and laughed my ass off. I especially like the parts when the old crone in the black dress comes into the room to bitch out the crew. Suggestion: do a part two ... same video but slow motion and in reverse.
What an inspiring video! Immensely enjoyed this dude. Love from London Town.
Awesome job but I have one question did you ever consider putting the subwoofers underneath the platform? It would give it a little more explosions I was going to do that to my theater but I have tenants probably would drive them
How wide and deep is the room? Thank you
The chairs should've been the absolute last thing to put in the room!
Why? In the process of planning for my space.
This reminds me of Sims city
you really need to change your TH-cam name to Mclovin you would triple your views! This is no means to sound offensive its a compliment :)
What was the point in stacking that much sound proofing under the stage ? Seems like over kill
I wish we could have gotten more angles of the framing construction.
Video should be titled: Lazy Pharaoh orders slaves to construct pyramid/theater room
I really wanna make a theater room and I already have a good tv and speakers but I only have 2000 dollars so I probably can’t
get a theater room
Keep your eyes peeled for deals. I purchased my laminate flooring on sale from $2.99 psf down to .99 cents psf. My power recliner I only purchased one because I was keeping the old sectional was on clearance at Costco from $935 down to $175.
Hi, Please could you tell me how wide your room is? Thankyou. Great video by the way.
12ft. Dimensions are in the description
The fact that y'all used a nest camera😂
Didn't have a go pro at the time.. this was the best I could do. I wasn't expecting to record it until the last minute. It worked. 😁
Is there a reason you put sound deadening in the floor?
Hey Mark, Yes; I wanted to make sure that I cut down on any sound vibrations from the speakers and eventually when I install the Buttkickers in the chairs. I did a ton of research on this prior to building and everyone that I came across that built something like this.. they put in the insulation and vents to help carry the sound and any vibrations.
That answers my question...looks like a lot of excess materials used though.. Why not float and isolated the riser..one thing layer of sound deadening material under finished floor. .looks awesome though. Hope you enjoy it for many many years.
Where did you get the recessed LED lights for the step up on the riser. looks great!
Waite a minute here look at all those 2x4's no no. Why did you do it like that. The front part was right you you should of made it longer so you could use it to build a 2x12 platform on top in the back. So you did not have to use so much wood. But none the less it looks awesome.
How does the floor insulation help? Does it help cut floor sounds more than a carpet?
The insulation helps stop vibrations, being that it is sound proof I found that it helps with sounds a lot better and then providing the vents helps the sound and pressure flow through the platform.
Good job but should have removed the projector from the room before working with wood, lots of trouble with dust in lenses could be avoided !
awsome asf great work #Cheers #OneLove

Probably should have used carpet on the riser for sound purposes. Otherwise nice job
This works very well the way I have it.. no sound issues.
This is what I really wanted to build for my home theater.
Sadly my wallet didn't approve it
How big was the room you used. I like your build and considering this kind of layout for the platform.
Room size is 29 ft long by 12 ft wide
Is that the cbs’ cold case song?
cool la video mercii
Got a pic from the back view?
Great video it gives inspiration, i will make the same platform and just wonder how high is the platform on the second row?
What colour is used on the walls
nice theater .. what are the dimension of your room? if you dont mind me asking.
29ft long by 12 ft wide
